DrDisrespect's house shot at for second time in two days on stream

It's not but Twitch definitely harbors and cultivates toxic communities that someone mentally ill or angry would be drawn to.
This is ridiculous. Over dumb videogames...I hope him and his family can find a safer place to be until they catch the person.
"Good guy with a gun."
Poor family, that is fucked up.
Yea, right.

"This is not the time to talk about gun control."
Yea, right.
That's a possibility yes. If a kid steals a bike, someone kicks down a postbox etc etc.. evidence would likely be declared non usable.
But if it's a major crime I'm sure they would make it work somehow. In this case.. I'm sure they would find a way because of circumstances.
Like in this case.
I mean, what does one even comment on something like this? What the hell is wrong with people? The dude talks about video games...
There are way too many people jumping a guy for having a fairly logical inquiry... Doc has an incredibly played up persona to popularize his channel, has made his "affairs" public and that was also questioned for attention/views. Why would it be unfair to ponder that? I am not, because I saw a report about the police/deputy that was made public, but it is not ILLOGICAL to wonder if it wasn't part of his theatrics...
Maybe there are some weird local or state laws governing this in certain areas, but I've never once heard of this. Source?
Yeah, I completely agree. A lot of what made him popular was a persona that hyped up everything, but I don't think a dude who comes forth and just flat out admits some of his faults would lie about getting harassed/his house shot at.
You're right. A maniac wildly shooting at a guys house is definitely not the time to talk about silly things like the regulation of guns.

Kotaku reached out to police in Beahm's district, who confirmed that they have a deputy on the scene and are investigating. No medics were needed, they said. Kotaku also reached out to Beahm, but as of publishing, he hadn't replied.
Fuck right off with this. Guns being as plentiful and easily accessible as they are is what makes things like this so easy. It's directly relevant to what happened.
What is to be gained with that knowledge though? What changes for the person behind a computer reading this and reacting to it if it wasn't real? Let something actually come about that would question if this was real or not before doing it.
Help isn't being solicited. Donations aren't being asked for. If this was fake, nothing would change on here.
Questioning everything as potentially fake at first blush doesn't actually do less harm or help anything or anyone. Especially in this era of calling very real journalism and reporting as 'fake news'. When people are at risk of harm, questioning them first isn't something that needs to be lauded.
I wonder how much friendlier ResetEra as a community feels, in the alternate universe where every tenth post isn't punctuated with "fuck off" or "what the FUCK is WRONG with you"
Not sure if you followed the entire conversation, but I am strictly speaking of Sweden here.
It's in the lawbook, "kameraövervakningslagen"
I think people post stuff like that to say "This is so bad, that even if I dislike the person I wouldn't wish it upon them."
But yeah it's not the right thing to say.
My thoughts and prayers are with you on this difficult journey you're making.
How is bringing up gun control in a thread about a streamers house getting shot at off topic?
In this thread I learned you're a piece of crap for hoping his family is ok.
What is wrong with some of you?

His Twitch channel has a message:
Doc and Family Are Safe. Proper Measures are be taken while stream is down for the day. 09/11/2018
This is just insane to me, hope he and his family are safe and he filed a police report
Really? Any idea which stream? That's so freaking weird.

AgainstTheCurrent would you mind adding the Kotaku reporting to the OP?
https://kotaku.com/twitch-streamer-dr-disrespect-stops-stream-saying-his-1828975503
He's not questioning them. He's posting a question on an Internet forum that has no bearing on the real world
Glad to hear everyone is safe for now. Dude has a 4 or 5 year old kid IIRC.
I hope they catch this spineless bastard and throw the book at em for Attempted Murder.

This is complete insanity. I feel terrible for Doc. He has a family. What piece of human garbage would do something like this?
To imply that someone is without empathy based on a single internet comment, one that wasn't even malicious (just dumb), sounds to me like a pretty unempathetic thing to do. That is to imply something deeply negative about the character of someone whom you hardly know, based on so little. We can all express ourselves and our entire range of emotion without going 0 to 100 whenever someone says something dumb.
Headlines are money. Look at POTUS. By just dominating headlines you can gain a TON of viewers and what is the conversion rate for a viewer to a sub/$?
Again, to me it seems pretty clear this was real. The police report is proof positive. But the initial thoughts some had whether his overly dramatized channel having a hoax for attention is not an absurd thought...
Questioning if this is real or not isn't questioning the victim? It's not directly asking them but it is still making your first reaction to a serious situation skepticism. AFAIK, there's no reason to believe this not to be true at first glance.
I go back to my original point: have just the smallest faith in this site and the person that would make this topic being able to discern reality and a prank until there is something that actually deserves skepticism.
I remember the first few weeks after the migration when this was a pleasant site. Really hate what it has evolved to
I don't think a first reaction being that this is a conspiracy for Twitch sub money is a reasonable viewpoint that should be entertained or given a platform on here with zero evidence supporting it.
It was when they were renting a beach house last year. They put up a video that was a tour of the house and the surrounding area and the next day someone had a pizza delivered to the address they were staying at.
If my house got shot at (which it has before, I'm originally from the hood), I would not keep streaming to tell people what's going on. o_o
I hope they catch and stop the shooter.

Yeah he has played up controversy for views in the past but the man isn't some great actor and he seems both really perturbed and angry in the clip. That and ending his stream early seems like more than enough reason for me to believe him (and someone who's been very critical of him in the past).
Hopefully he can take a break from streaming and get the help from law enforcement that he and his family need to feel safe again.

He's a public figure. Cutting off the stream abruptly with no notice would lead to more speculation and conjecture. He stated what happened and ended the stream immediately after.
